Trinidadian Creole English is a Creole English which is the general spoken language in Trinidad. It is distinct from Tobagonian Creole English and from other Lesser Antillean English creoles. Like other Caribbean Creoles, TCE combines syntax of African origin with a primarily English-derived vocabulary. In addition, many expressions reflect the presence of a French Creole (or Patois) substratum which was the primary language until the end of the nineteenth century.
